Aquilegia 'Dragon Fly Hybrid' - Columbine

Pot Size: 

Columbines have been grown in gardens for centuries, and are among the most popular of perennials. Hummingbirds will often drop in to sip nectar from the flowers. This hybrid mixture features a wide range of pastel shades and bi-colors, over a compact mound of ferny light-green foliage. Excellent for cutting. Since Columbines are relatively short lived, allow some of the plants to go to seed and self sow. Leaf miners or sawfly may disfigure the leaves around flowering time. Simply trim off the ugly foliage and the plants will grow fresh leaves. Flowers form a delicate star of outer petals surrounding an inner ring with yellow centers. Long spurs project out behind blossoms. Graceful, ferny mound of blue-green foliage. Dragonfly Hybrids produce a wealth of extra large flowers in bold colors of rose, blue, yellow, white, pink, and crimson.
